He's good, but he has only 6600 yards in 84 games. He needs another 10,000 yards to get into the conversation. One good hit on the knee and he'll be done as an elite back, so it's unlikely he avoids it for long enough.

 6 or 7 years?  What he has done in his short career has surpassed every RB but Jim Brown.  And in the last 41 games, he has BEEN BETTER than Jim Brown's best 41 game stretch.  As a grey beard, I do not think you know what you are saying or seeing.  Henry is on a historic run.  Every player is one injury away from the end.  We do not judge what may happen.  Judge what he is doing in a historical context.  Right now Henry and Brown are the ONLY RB ever to do what they are doing.  Brown played on great Cleveland teams.  Henry's Tacks are average and his OL sucks.

That there's talk about his place in history says a lot, but right now he's almost 12000 yards and 100 TDs off the career lead. But he's playing great and it's not unrealistic for him to finish his career among the leaders.

That being said if he had an injury injury next week that either ended his career or lowered his production significantly would you say he's the greatest running back ever?

Talking about the greatest is a difficult thing, but right now he's done a good job getting the start of a Hall of Fame resume ready.
